Information technology addicts often exhibit a high rate of relapse, which reflects the failure of previous recovery approaches. However, research on relapse to information technology addiction has been largely neglected, and few means have been developed to address this issue. To fill this research gap, this study identifies essential factors for preventing relapse to information technology addiction with a self-regulation perspective. A longitudinal online survey is conducted. The results show that mindfulness and self-control contribute to reduced urges, which, in turn, prevent relapse. This study provides useful insights by expanding our understandings of relapse to information technology addiction.

信息技术成瘾者通常表现出很高的复发率，这反映了以前的恢复方法的失败。然而，对信息技术成瘾复发的研究在很大程度上被忽视了，并且几乎没有开发出解决这个问题的方法。为了填补这一研究空白，本研究从自我调节的角度确定了预防信息技术成瘾复发的基本因素。进行了纵向在线调查。结果表明，正念和自我控制有助于减少冲动，从而防止复发。这项研究通过扩展我们对信息技术成瘾复发的理解提供了有用的见解。
